The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized graph manifold to carry a nonpositively curved metric. Such metric exists if and only if some of its parameters satisfy a certain geometrization equation. This equation, known for 3-dimensional graphmanifolds, is generalized to the case of arbitrary dimension. The simplest case of a 4-graphmanifold that cannot be reduced to the case of a 3-graphmanifold is where the manifold consists of three blocks and its graph is homeomorphic to a segment. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for such a manifold to carry a nonpositively curved metric.
